Finished the bracket for the relays.
I'm designing a box to go around the relays and to help seal them from directly getting wet. It will be designed with magic's cad software then 3d printed out of ABS plastic in FDM on a printer I have at my terrific job. FDM is shirt for Fused Deposition Modeling. It's a process in which how you build the part. It will then be copper and nickel plated by me at my job. I could keep it in plastic but I would prefer the strength increase. And it's also what I do for a living. Then I will paint it to keep it from staining. (nickel stains very easily if it gets wet.)

Thanks guys.
Did a little work on the motor tonight....
Got the oil pump on
Pump Baffle on
Guides for oil pump
Started to work my way up when I realized I didn't get everything I needed back from the machine shop. But it's only bolts so I'm ordering new ones tomorrow. As well as o-ring gaskets for misc parts around the motor.
Also installed the rocker assembly and cams. If it's one thing I hate it's putting the damn rocker assembly on the head. They just have a mind of their own and pins comes out every which way.... Goojesus is a headache. But that is done.
I'm also getting a z3 top cam chain guide. They are longer and cover more of the gear vs my factory z1 guide.
Gets a few pics of what's done or started...
Also started on the cad work for my relay cover box.
And cleaned up the wiring in the relays. Had to do that to get accurate dimensions to start working on the cad.
That's all for now. Stay tuned...

This is awesome! Aidan's gonna know more than me by the time he's 6 if he's working with you! And that's awesome, he'll get all the chicks (@civicgrl89)
He stunts hard man!
I like the bracket layout! Box is a great idea. Where are you going to mount it in the car, the front bumper?
Awesome! I took CAD 1 and 2 back in high school. I loved that program! Talk about intricate, and this was 7 or 8 years ago. Must be far more developed by now! And as far as the chain guide is concerned, I remember [MENTION=209]ksboi[/MENTION] posted a chain guide or chain protector a while back which was definitely a good idea. You think about that?

That was a lower timing chain guide and he actually just got one. I put one on my motor while doing the timing chain and it's nice, keeps the chain in the right spot even if tensioner and all other guides are removed. Would be very helpful with doing cam changes, but also adds some reassurance that the chain won't jump a tooth.
Haha yea he should know quite a bit by then. If he's interested that is. And Yup hell have a turbo or Supercharged car in high school. That should bring in some girls.
And thanks the relays will be mounted in the wheel well bumper area Yup! And the box should help keep moisture out. Cad work on the new magics is a pain. My boss is actually making it with the specs I have and he was having a tough time finding all the commands on there.
And [MENTION=185]aLmk[/MENTION] is right. I bought a lower timing chain guide. Is on the motor in a couple pics. Gotta zoom in close to the oil pump
